ElectroCore announced that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, or NICE, has published a Medtech innovation briefing, or MIB, on their non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator, or nVNS, gammaCore, for use in the treatment of cluster headache in adults. The report collates the most recent published evidence, and surmises that gammaCore is beneficial for people suffering with cluster headache. Clinical specialists propose that gammaCore has the potential to be a treatment option for people who haven't responded to, or can't tolerate currently available treatments. The opinion of three leading clinical experts and the advocacy group, Migraine Trust, were consulted in the development of the MIB. The report showed that the use of gammaCore alongside standard of care may be more effective than standard of care only in the treatment of cluster headaches. It also states that gammaCore does not need to be surgically implanted and does not require clinical monitoring.
